Our second Alumni vs. Sixth Formers lacrosse match was held on a lovely sunny day on Saturday 6 September. Our Alumni team was from a wide range of leaving years, spanning 1996 leavers to last year's cohort. The Alumni team had never played together before, and only had around 30 minutes before the match started to warm up together and discuss teamwork and strategy. 

The match started with the score line favouring the Sixth Formers - 20 minutes into the game the Alumni were yet to score and had gone three goals down. As the match went on the Alumni team grew in confidence, and the teams went into the last quarter at 7 - 6 in favour of the Sixth Formers. The Alumni team gave everything in the last three minutes and after a nail-biting finish ended up winning in the last 15 seconds of the game, with a final score of 7 - 8.

A fantastic result for a team who had never played together before - well done to everyone who was involved! Also thanks to our Sixth Formers, who played brilliantly and were very gracious in defeat. The game was followed by lunch in the STAHS sports pavillion and a chance for alumni to catch up and reminisce about past teachers and school day stories.

We are planning to re-instate the Alumni vs. Sixth Formers tennis tournament in summer 2026. Please get in touch if you are interested in playing or can help us organise the event.
